Flower petal distribution.

Like a voronoi grid with limited colors, each color a state. Every state would have a bit of everything.

Residents of Floxas notice no change.

I was about to say—we lost the panhandle, and nobody realistically knows what lives there anyway.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

I think it becomes the most populous state

[–] [email protected] 39 points 1 week ago (2 children)

You should sort them in alphabetical order, my European brain won't be able to remember them otherwise

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

And put them all to a catchy jingle

One line would be enough: to divide North from South.

[–] [email protected] 56 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think we tried that once.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

At that time only the South wanted independence, now it might be that both parts would rather live on their own.

These welfare queen red states would turn into Somalia in short order. If I can't make it back to a blue state before the borders close I'm going to fucking kill myself.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Better to have a small Somalia2 than turn all the US into the Beautiful Somalia of Covfefe, don't you agree?

bible belt and sane people

Insular, gossipy, ugly, unintelligible, poorly dressed crazy religious dumbfucks and normal humans who actually have empathy and can accept their town gaining new residents without throwing a redneck tantrum about it every day while said new resident occupies free real estate in their moldy swamp brains.

You need 4 lines. North East, South West, Wastelands.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 week ago

Split it along the time zones instead. Less states and simpler administration. Washington DC can be its own time zone just to mess with people.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago

I feel like idiota would be overcrowded

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago

Floxas made me lol

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Fuck that. The Northeast created this country and we're not gonna be erased.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 week ago (1 children)

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Fine, New Jersey is taking its Unix and going home then

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I like how the map shows the curvature of the north border (49th parallel), meaning all these lines bulge north in the middle.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

Utucky

No u.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

Alascanada?

Hawacuba?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (4 children)

I especially like IDiOTA

Also

America's borders

USA borders.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

“America” is a shortened name for “United States of America,” in addition to the name of the continent. It can be both, you know.

Believe it or not, those two terms are used interchangably and somehow no one gets confused. A continent AND a country can both have the same name without the world ending.

Americans are so dumb when it comes to timezones we could just assign Maintana to GMT+5, Washconsin GMT+6 and so on downwards. It wouldn't make any difference to them and it'd be a lot more fun for the rest of us.

True story: "The meeting is at 1500 EDT". "Your state is currently on EST so if I turn up at the specified time I'll be an hour late. Are you sure it's 1500 EDT and not 1500 EST?" "Yes, definitely 1500 EDT". /me turns up at 1500 EDT to find the meeting has already finished.

I misread IDOTA as IDIOTA.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Maintana most beautiful state

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Bullshit. I just moved from Oklahoma to California to escape the hell hole that is that backwards ass state and I'm not reincorporating.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

You have ascended to heaven. If you ever feel stressed, just remember that the people you left behind are still playing in the mud and catching exotic third world diseases.

But the target of basically all the hurricanes

I feel for Louisiana getting lumped into Floxas, run by the mutant abomination AbbSantis.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

It's not actually all that differently stupid.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

As a resident of Floxus, I propose we make the creeping phlox our state flower.

(It smells like rotting skunk.)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

this unironically looks like how some colonies used ro be divvied up. fitting for a colonial empire.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Now I want to see this cross referenced to a population map and overlay major cities and show us the population of each new state and what cities would be in each.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Sounds more like a new line up of pharmaceuticals for the treatment of those suffering from delusions of grandeur and acute narcissism
